Julia's Party Prep

Way back in January, Julia decided she wanted a dolphin birthday party, and she wanted to plan every single detail.  And plan she did!  Over the past three months, I have been ordering and creating various products and activities for the big day (tomorrow).  Everything for Julia's party - except the cake - fit into this box . . . so I have jokingly called this Julia's party-in-a-box.

 Today Julia helped me bake an egg-free, dairy-free cake (one of her guests has food allergies).  Julia wanted a chocolate and yellow marble cake, which was easy to do with these two allergy-free cake mixes.

 While the cake was baking, Julia got to work decorating her friends' goodie bags.  (Meanwhile, I was working on her sister's owl party invitations . . .)

 One more thing to prepare for Julia's party:  her dress.  Julia specifically requested that I sew a dress for her.  No problem.  And I thought I was done this morning until my little Sunshine asked me to put a pocket on her dress.  Okey, dokey!  Now that the pocket is finished, her dress is really done.
